Sink earthing

Who's a lucky boy then?

Good. For the satisfaction of my curiousity (and those of others following the thread, I expect) - what was the fault in the socket? Was it some rare, generally-unlikely internal fault which meant that the incoming earth wires were well attached to the E terminal in the socket, but the connection wasn't being made to the plug's E pin?

Or was it something much simpler - loose or simply missing connection to the E terminal of the socket, or maybe incoming E fixed not to socket but to the terminal in the back box (which if the socket's plastic, gives you no earth connection to the socket itself)?

Enquiring minds wanna know... and are glad you're no longer getting shocks, by the way.

Erm, yes.....

And removing the existing green wires and having plastic pipework would mean that there would be no shock at all. (Although the dishwasher clearly needs fixing).

Can you take it back and ask for a refund saying "I only washed it once and it's stretched"

I know someone who tried that, apparently, "it looked like it had been intentionally stretched" so they said no.
